Marin County enacts Sanctuary City policy 3/21/2017

On March 21, 2017, Marin County California Board of Supervisors approved legislation to abide by Sanctuary City policy meant to thwart enforcement of immigration laws. The Marin County sheriff will implement. The deliberate act of defiance of the rule of law creates a "two legal systems" and leniency for dangerous criminals and gang members. Immigration reform is needed to allow otherwise law abiding people to come out of the shadows and openly participate in full society. A Sanctuary City keeps illegal immigrants underground and hurts the vulnerable. Immigration reform is the answer as it respects the individual and the rule of law.

Our community is what we make it. Marinwood-Lucas Valley is on the eve of a fateful decision by the Marin County Board of Supervisors to designate our community with 71% of all affordable housing in unincorporated Marin. If built to plan it will swell our community by 25% and add 600-1000 school children to the Dixie School District. Since affordable housing developments pay virtually no taxes, the community will have to pay for the $6 million to $10 million annually estimated to educate these children. Our total budget for the Marinwood CSD is $4.2 million dollars. Clearly it will have a severe impact on our community.

We support a fair allocation of affordable housing in our community that is sensitive to land use, is fiscally responsible, healthy for the families and integrates diversity within our community.

Unfortunately, planners, politicians and political insiders made their plans without us.
